Wedding Services

My love for paper and natural materials has grown into a collection of handmade creations - from Paper-Mache  (recycled paper pulp) Clay to paper flowers (crepe and cardstock) to pressed flower frames and keepsakes.

Each item is made slowly and intentionally, honoring the textures, tones and desires of my clients. I hope these pieces bring a sense of calm, beauty and connection to your space or celebrations.

Papier-mâché Clay

Each piece is made by hand, giving it a soft, organic feel and artistic texture. Decorative bowls, trays, trinket dishes and simple vases make great additions to home decor and meaningful gifts.

Pressed Flower Keepsakes

Preserve a special moment. I process your special occasion florals by pressing to dry and preserve them and then create a lasting design in a shadow box frame.

Custom Paper Florals

Each piece I create is handcrafted with care. Paper flowers and succulents shaped petal by petal from crepe paper or different weight papers. Perfect for wedding embellishments, simple unique gifts or for non-gardeners who want a carefree touch of nature inside, each piece will bring nature-inspired beauty.

It has been an honor to celebrate so many love stories over the years. Ranging from elopements to traditional, backyard to beach, barn to country club, I've performed over six hundred ceremonies.

Officiating

At this time, I am offering a limited number of wedding ceremonies and elopements close to the Jacksonville Beaches area. My focus, going forward, is on smaller, meaningful gatherings where the atmosphere allows for connection, reflection and joy.
